Scientists have been using neutron and X-ray imaging techniques at the UK’s ISIS Neutron and Muon Source (ISIS)’S TOSCA facility and at the Diamond Light Source synchrotron to help develop a new material that could capture toxic sulphur dioxide pollution before transforming it into useful compounds.
The largest direct-detection dark matter experiment in the US reached its latest milestone when the crews at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota last week strapped the central component of LUX-ZEPLIN, (LZ) below an elevator and lowered it 4,850 feet down a shaft. Dr Pawel Majewski from the Particle Physics Department of the STFC has led the design, fabrication, cleaning, and delivery of LZ’s inner cryostat vessel.
